To enjoy them at their best, warm the tortillas slightly before serving. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-30 seconds per side until they are soft and pliable. Alternatively, you can wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds. This warming process makes them more flexible and enhances their flavor, preventing them from cracking when filled and folded.
